MUSICAL powerhouse Grease roars back into the Alexandra Theatre for a limited showing from next Tuesday.

This time the smash hit show, placed at the top of Channel 4's 100 Greatest Musicals over Christmas, has a local flavour when it comes to Birmingham.

Local star Hayley Evetts, who shot to prominence in Pop Idol, stars as innocent, but beautiful, 'square' Sandy, who enjoys a tempestuous relationship with super cool leader of the T-Birds Danny Zuko.

The show features all the unforgettable songs from the hit film including 'You're The One That I Want', and runs from January 17 to 28.
